John BOVINE whose aspect mingles the

agent of the New York Association for I'm

Superintendent Blake depends to relieve

pends about S25, 900 a year in its work of re-
lief, of which 60 per cent goes directly to the
people aided and 40 per cent. is consumed in
expense Mr. Bovine said:
There Is never any delay in relieving cases
of destitution coming to our knowledge

person who really wants to live to starve to

neighbors are always at hand to give aid,
and the police are sure to discover a case out
of doors In most of the cases reported in
the papers as of starvation, alcoholism has
more to do with it than lack of food. Our
money is collected chiefly through a can
vasser, who is employed regularly. Most of
it comes from individuals. Comparatively
little is contributed by the churches, because
we urge that each church should look after its
own poor, and they getting to do so very
generally.

STARVING TO DEATH.
A FEAT NOT EASILY ACCOM-

City's Paupers Says on the Subject-As-

sHow can a person starve to death in New
York city!" was asked by a reporter of Super
intendent Blake, who looks after the city's
paupers Mr.. Blake didn't stop to think before
he said: "You can't;n and then he added:
"That is, you can't unless you want TO real
bad, OF course, il you lock yourself up
somewhere where no one can get ut you, and
don't eat anything or make any noise to
attract attention, You may succeed IN dying
of starvation; but that's about the only way
you could do it i'll New York. If you would
staIve, take my advice and don't try it in
New York; you are sure to be caught at it.
There is no red tape about the relief Of
destitute people in tins city. In the first place,
the city doesn't do it at ALL The city gave up
giving outdoor relief several years ago. All
the city does for poor people is to send them
to the workhouse. But, naturally, informa-
ton of people who are in need of immediate
assistance usually comes TO me- Generally
the neighbors are the ones who find out the
case, and they either come here or inform the
police. In either case the action l., immediate.

The future of Rock Island never looked brighter
than it does to-day, and there never was time
when there was more confidence manifested among
our citizens The so-called Blooms" of some
Western towns have had their day, and caught
their victims, and now the sober second sense is re-
turning, and with it the desire to locate in cities
which have not been built in day and swept away
